The developer unveiled Inkling 2 Small, a Mixture-of-Experts model with 594 billion total parameters and 17 billion active, supporting image inputs and variable effort levels. The model scored 31 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, a notable jump from the company's prior generation, with gains attributed to more efficient pre-training and a unified reinforcement learning run. It is currently accessible only through the Tinker platform with closed weights, ahead of a planned Apache 2.0 open-weight release next week pending safety testing.

Google has launched Gemini 4 Carbon, its second new frontier AI model in a month following Gemini 4 Argon. The model improves on coding, agentic tasks, scientific reasoning and multimodal understanding, with Google saying its biggest gains are in cybersecurity, including more than doubling secure-code generation rates versus Argon. Carbon will first go to select cyber defenders before wider release, priced at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.

A company has unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, a frontier AI model it says scores highest on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0 at 59, with strong results on cybersecurity benchmarks including SEC-bench Pro, ExploitGym, and CWE-bench. Rather than a full public launch, the model will first go to select cyber defenders this week, then expand to trusted partners via the Fairwind Program, with pricing set at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.

Google announced Gemini 4 Carbon, a new AI model it says delivers major improvements in coding, long-running agentic tasks, and cybersecurity defense compared to its predecessor Argon, released earlier this month. The model tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0 and leads rival models from Anthropic and OpenAI on two security-focused benchmarks, SEC-bench Pro and ExploitGym. Access is currently limited to select cybersecurity defense firms through Google's Fairwind Program, with wider partner access planned later.

Artificial Analysis launched version 5 of its Intelligence Index, a composite benchmark measuring AI model capabilities, adding two new tests (FrontierCode 2.0 and Terminal-Bench-Science) and upgrading three others, including a refined version of Humanity's Last Exam. The firm also introduced a companion Progress Index to track model capability over time, and reports that 60% of the Index now relies on private or held-out test data. In current results, Claude Opus 5.5 leads with a score of 58, narrowly ahead of GPT-6 Astra at 57.

A developer has released Parsimony, an open-source benchmark that measures how much code AI models add when solving SWE-bench Verified tasks, rather than just whether they solve them. It parses patches to count syntax-level coding units added and removed, producing a net score, and ranks models by mean net units added on tasks they solved. The tool and underlying data are published on GitHub, with results also shown via an interactive leaderboard and charts.
